I uninstalled the package, restarted emacs with -Q, initialized package and reinstalled from there. I had to remove the occurrences of function-put again though. Without -Q, it seems that there was a compilation error in org-attach.el at line 42 (require 'org-id), related to an undefined function "org-link-set-parameter". Thibaut
